and use of AI. The Commissioner and team published a Technical Paper in November 2020 – Using Artificial Intelligence to Make Decisions: Addressing the Problem of Algorithmic Bias.4 The Technical Paper investigates how unfairness and even unlawful discrimination can arise through ‘algorithmic bias’ in realistic commercial scenarios, and it provides guidance regarding how these problems might be addressed. The Technical Paper, the first of its kind in Australia, offers unique practical assistance to business on human rights compliant use of AI. It highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary, multistakeholder cooperation to produce practical guidance for businesses wishing to innovate responsibly. The project has been evaluated at significant milestones and the findings reported in previous reporting periods. Figure 1 summarises the high level of engagement in this project and stakeholder views. A final evaluation will be undertaken and reported in the next period.5 Annual Report 2020–2021 Australian Human Rights Commission 31
